Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being   driven,   the   illumination   of   one   of   the  
f

ollowing   warning   lamps   indicates   a   fault   which  
r

equires   action   on   the   part   of   the   driver.Any
  fault   resulting   in   the   illumination   of   a   warning   lamp   must   be   investigated   further   by  r
eading   the   associated   message   in   the   multifunction   screen.
If
  you   encounter   any   problems,   do   not   hesitate   to   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified

RAcING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.  The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.

T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.

Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to  the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never  
e

xceed   it.
In
 
addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is  
p

ressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching
 
off   the   engine   before   carrying   out   any  
wo

rk.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap

two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.  
W

hen
 
the
  pressure   has   dropped,   remove   the

and
 
top   up   the   level.
When
 
the
  engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
